More Than Just Grief… The Practical Battles Begin

You’re not only mourning the man you lost—you’re facing everything alone now.
💧 Bills to pay, paperwork to file, decisions to make.

💧 Loneliness creeps in when the casseroles stop coming.

💧 Friends don’t call as often. Church feels awkward.

💧 You wonder: “Am I doing this right? Am I failing?”

What started as grief is now tangled in survival...

You Want to Recreate now... But How?

Let’s be real:

⏰ You’re juggling everything alone, and there’s no time left for
you.

💰 Finances are tight—every dollar has a name.

📚 You don’t know where to start—or who to trust.

I Know What It’s Like to Sit in the Rubble…

Wondering if Life as I Knew It Was Over.

There was a season where I couldn’t breathe without crying.

Where I wore strength like a mask and grief like a second skin.

I remember staring at bills I didn’t know how to pay,

sitting in a church pew feeling more like a ghost than a guest.

I wasn’t just mourning my husband, I was mourning me.

But God met me in the ashes.

And what He recreated… is what I now offer to you.

What IF... your greatest sorrow held the seed of someone else's healing?

I’ve walked through the valley—and I didn’t just survive…

I discovered a path that leads from mourning to movement, from ashes to assignment.

This membership is the fruit of that journey.

What once crushed me, God used to commission me...

And now? I’m on a mission to make sure no widow walks this road alone.

Because there’s glory in your grief.

And purpose still pulsing in your veins.

This is my story...

My name is Nathalie Benson, Founder of Recreating Life and The Order of Widows. When I first lost my husband to a brain tumor, I did what good Christian women are “supposed” to do:

I prayed.

I showed up to church.

I tried to smile and say, “God is good.”

But deep down, I was unraveling.

I tried the books. The sermons. The support groups.

But none of them spoke to the real ache of being a widow.

I didn’t need a Bible verse—I needed someone to sit with me in the ashes, stay awhile… and remind me who I was.

I felt forgotten. Misunderstood. Even a little ashamed that I couldn’t “bounce back.”

But the Lord wasn’t asking me to bounce

He was inviting me to break, surrender, and be recreated on His terms.

That’s when everything changed.

He began to show me that widowhood isn’t a punishment—It’s a platform. A prophetic assignment.

And I knew I wasn’t the only one who needed that kind of revelation.

That’s why I created Recreating Life

—not as another group, but as a sacred space where grief meets glory…and widows become warriors.

as seen on...

For a moment imagine what life will be like when you get the breakthrough I have?

What Could Life Look Like With Support,

Strategy, and Spirit-Led Sisterhood?

and more!

Imagine This…

What if life started to feel lighter?

What if the fog began to lift and joy didn’t feel so far away?

With Recreating Life, you’ll have a Spirit-led path forward.

💫 Fewer sleepless nights.

💫 More moments of laughter without guilt.

💫 The strength to dream again—and the support to walk it out.

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting.

It means recreating—with God as your architect.

How does recreating life change real life for a widow?

She goes from eating alone in silence to sharing tears and laughter with women who get it.

From feeling spiritually stuck to receiving fresh prophetic encouragement every month.

From letting bills pile up to confidently managing her finances and stewarding her future.

From hiding her voice to mentoring others through her testimony.

This is about reclaiming authority over her time, heart, and identity.

You don’t have to start over—you get to build forward.

Recreating Life is designed to meet her in the mess…

and walk her into clarity, calling, and community.

Each monthly moment—whether it’s a coaching call, a devotional, or a private prayer—becomes a sacred stone in recreating the life God still has for her.

AND HERE’S WHAT ELSE YOU’LL GAIN…

You’ll begin to feel normal again—even though your life will never be the same.

That means:

🌼 A soft place to land when the grief wave hits unexpectedly

🌼 A reason to smile again on days you didn’t think you could

🌼 Biblical encouragement that actually applies to your journey

🌼 The joy of knowing you’re not a project—you’re a daughter

🌼 A rhythm of healing that doesn’t rush, shame, or pressure you

🌼 Women to weep with. Women to worship with. Women to rise with.

What others have said about Recreating life

"My life is changed forever!” Those were my words when I returned home from Nathalie’s widows retreat last year. I went sort of kicking and screaming (inside of course!) thinking, “I really don’t want to spend a whole weekend with a bunch of grieving widows!” Oh, but of course… I guess I was one of them! After three full days of participating in various activations to help us ‘let go’ of what was and look forward to grasping the life ahead of us, I had a new mindset, a healed heart, and a willingness to truly move forward with my life! I have to say I had many major pivotal moments.Nathalie IS so filled with wisdom – not just from the Lord, but also from her own personal experiences. She knows how the widows think & feel and resonates with their pain, questions, and fears. I will be forever grateful for her obedience to the Lord in helping other widows. My transformation was and is beautiful fruit from that obedience. And the lifetime friendships I made there are also a lifetime treasure for me..

- Sandra Rae Pattison, Texas

I am going to be really honest here, I was not interested in any group of widows especially from a woman who did not look like me. I had come across @Nathalie Doss Benson offer a day after I had changed my FB status to widow. What drew me to her was this glow on her face. She seemed joyful. I was not joyful at all. I was hurt, disappointed, angry and despondent. I wanted joy, hope again but I didn’t know where to start. I joined her 3 day challenge and was blessed to become apart of her offer. She guided us through being vulnerable, honest and opened to Gods will, love and mercy. We were able to connect through zoom calls once a week to a 3 day retreat with other women who are so much more than friends. They are my family. We encountered the presence of God in a very real way. This was my first trip alone that was just for me. Not my kids or grandkids. I chose life after walking through the valley of the shadow of death and was reborn a widow warrior. I am indebted to this group of warrior widows until my last breath!.

Nathalie has poured out some intimate details of her story from both perspective as a grieving widow, to single and dating. She can really speak to anyone in their single or married journey and eloquently breaks down the distinction in your own individuality, regardless of your relationship status.

I have been divorced for 10 years. Dating has its emotional ups and downs, I found a lot of comfort in the similarities we share in today’s culture and being a woman over 40.

Should you find yourself in a place longing for a community, navigating heartbreak and need some guidance, Natalie offers so much clarity and understanding.

Widows in the Recreating Life Membership have said things like:

“I finally got out of bed on my husband’s birthday… and I didn’t feel guilty for smiling.”

“I created a budget, applied for a new job, and led prayer at church—for the first time in years.”

“I used to feel invisible. Now I feel like a voice of healing in my family and my community.”

“I went from silently scrolling to mentoring another widow who was where I was last year.”

“I don’t feel like a burden anymore. I feel like a builder.”

This is Holy Spirit-infused momentum. You’ll walk away with more than hope, clarity, courage, and a sisterhood behind you.

frequently asked questions category one

How does this membership work?

This membership takes place in a private facebook group where we will go live on a zoom call during our scheduled calls.

What if I can't make the live calls?

Although it is important to show up live often, all our sessions will be recorded and placed into the guides section of our facebook group for you to watch at a time that convenient for you. The most important call to show up live for would be the sisterhood groups.

Can I gift a membership to someone?

Absolutely! Simply use their name and email when purchasing or email me at [email protected] to arrange payment. We encourage churches, friends and family to purchase memberships for their treasured widows. The most recommended membership time would be for 12 months to see the most impact.

frequently asked questions category two

What is prophecy and activations?

Prophecy is hearing God’s heart for yourself or others—words that encourage, comfort, and strengthen. Activations are simple Spirit-led exercises that help you grow in confidence to recognize and respond to His voice. You don’t have to be a prophet—just willing to listen and lean in.

What are Sisterhood Groups?

Sisterhood groups provide a nurturing environment for sisters to gather, using tailored conversation guides to openly discuss their current situations and receive uplifting support for any challenges they may encounter. It's a dedicated space designed for collective processing of life experiences with other sisters. This is no regular grief support group, this is your sisterhood group...You definitely won't want to miss out on these live calls!

Why are Prayer Calls Important?

The Prayer Calls serve as a conduit for connecting you with God and fellow sisters through prayer and Bible study. Research indicates that regular Bible reading correlates with a 49% decrease in loneliness, increased confidence, greater peace, and enhanced sense of connection with others. Each week, we'll delve into a Scripture passage for discussion and allocate 30-40 minutes for praying over any requests our sisters may have.
